AFFORDABLE HOUSING


Predictable homes, delivered at scale.

Affordable housing programmes don't have room for uncertainty. Budgets are fixed, timelines are tight and every delay costs money that should be going into more homes. At FREDS Timber Frame, we bring the same Predictable Build Promise we apply to every project: clear planning, controlled manufacturing and reliable delivery.

Why open panel timber frame works for affordable housing


We specialise in open panel timber frame because it strikes the right balance for programmes under pressure: fast to erect, durable and lower cost than traditional masonry: without cutting corners on quality.


  • Cost certainty from day one — Your frame is designed, engineered and manufactured before it reaches site, giving you a fixed scope of work and far fewer surprises once construction starts.

  • Faster programmes — Off-site manufacture cuts time on site, helping you hit delivery targets and reduce holding costs on every plot.

  • Repeatable quality — Every panel is built to the same specification in a controlled environment, so quality doesn't vary from house to house or site to site.

  • Lower risk, better cash flow — Predictable milestones and clearer payment stages mean housing providers can plan budgets with confidence, not guesswork.

Case Study: Nant yr Dderwyn, Saundersfoot

19 affordable homes delivered within a 54-home residential development

Nant yr Dderwyn is a 54-home development in the sought-after seaside village of Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, built in collaboration with Morgan Construction and in partnership with ATEB. FREDS supplied and erected 19 affordable homes within the scheme using open panel timber frame, while the rest of the site progressed using traditional methods alongside us.

Our scope covered the full structural package:


  • Design and engineering

  • Structural timber frame manufacture and supply

  • Factory-fitted insulation

  • Delivery coordination

  • On-site erection, including craneage

  • Programme integration with the wider site team


Working alongside a traditional-build site meant our timber frame element had to keep pace without disrupting the broader programme — exactly the kind of coordinated, predictable delivery affordable housing partners rely on.


"We have worked with FREDS on a number of schemes in West Wales. We have always found them to be very efficient and professional in their approach and deliver a quality end product — which is very important to us. They are able to deliver a range of solutions including MMC, which we have successfully delivered together."
